Gov. GoRDoN was asked at Philadel-
phia what progress the colored people
were making in Georgia and replied
aThey are advancing. The negroes
see the advantages of education and
every colored child in the State is
anxious to get all the scholastic ad.
yantages possible. As soon as the
colored man becomes educated he be.
comes self.respecting and better
citizen. He wants to own a home and
he will make every sacrifice to pur-
chase one. Once he becomes land
owner he becomes also good citizen. p

How Towns Are Es.iIs.

Wichita, town in Kansas, is ~
example of what can be done by tn"
energy, the enterprise and the united
public spirit of citizens. In the
course Of year or two Wichita has
grown from a comparatively insigul
ficant town to q great trade an't
railroad center. There has been an
increase Of over one thousand pes
cent. in the value of real estate, ana
an increase Of over twenty thousand
in population. Lots in, the towtf
sell for more than two thousand dol
lars q front foot. The secret Of
this wonderful progress is disclosed
by business man of Wichita after
the following manner:
eve organized. We held almost
nightly meetings, and among the
first things we agreed upon was 10
hang together and stay by each
| other through thick and thin.
1--WE advertised by hundreds oE
thousands of circulars. We set forth
all our advantages In such a manner
that strangers who were led by our
circulation to give us a call were hot
deceived, but, on the contrary,
agreed that we had not put it as
strong as We might.
Every town in the East of noto-
riety was not only served with our
circulars, but our newspapers. Aud
the newspaper advertising did
double duty. Our people made it &
rule to ask all their friends to ad
yertise.
. I'VE then subscribed for large
number of copies, loaded with local
advertisements and great advan-
tages, and we found by Conyerslng
| with parties who finally came here
| prospecting that the full advertising
columns OF our papers which they
had seen did more than all else I"
impress them with the growth and
Importance of the place.
We found .hen we could not
over do this thing--that the moro We
paid out for these purposes the more
were our profits. Every new conner
was customer to most OF our stores,
and while their advertising paid to
them rich returns, it served the
double purpose to impress the East
ern man who had an eye to business
with the fact Wichita was rising
town. and thus we have gone On un-
til we have added population since
[ came here Of over twenty thou
sand. and property has increased In
| business places more than thousand
fold. and in the country round about
| US the appreciation has been over
four hundred per cent.
II know as we'll as you can know
that printers ink is the best capital
to boom town. Had we not used
, it unsparingly Wichita would not
have been larger than Cartilage.
AS it is, we will soon outrank any
town in the State

Secretary Jno. T. Doyle OF the civil-service COM
mission. has just returned from q tour OF twenty.
two days duration in the service of the commits
sion. He went out to conduct examinations at
different cities, under the new annual system of
designating regular examinations for certain dates
at certain places. This plan was adopted in order
to afford all applicants opportunity to be exam.
1ned. Mr.. Doyle really put the system In opera
ton on his recent trip. He held examinations at
Williamsport and Pittsburg, Pa; Rochester and
Buffalo, NY; Detroit Lansing and Grand Rapids,
Mich; Fort Wayne, Ind, and Toledo and Cleve-
land. Ohio.
In conversation with STAR reporter to-day Mr..
Doyle said that the classes he examined were
laTSe, considering the number OF applicants who
were notified from Washington of the dates OF the
EXAMINATIONS In time. AS the system was put
lnto operation almost Immediately after its adop-
tlon tnne enough did not intervene to get advices

OF posCmasters, of boards of examiners and OF
Leading citizens with whom he came in contact,

the sentiment has not made any such

ENDICOTT AND SHERIDAN.
The Secretary and the Lieutenant.(sen-
eral Not in Harmony.

Conflicts OF authority between the Secretary OF
war and the Lfeutenant-General are becoming OF
frequent occurrence. General Sheridan was OPP
posed to the order limiting the term of service OF
stan officers to four years, holding that the gene
raj officers should have the right Of keeping officers
with them as long as they wished No exceptions
were made in enforcing the order, for the Sec
rotary was determined to break up the
custom OF allowing certain officers to retain COM
Portable berths year after year. AS a natural
consequence OF this Determination an order was
issued couple OF months ago limiting the terms
OF adJutants OF regiments and regimental quarter
masters TO four years also. There was no ex-
pressed opposition to this ORDER
. while the Secretary OF War was away short
tlme ago, several adjutant appointments were
made by colonies, with the approval OF Gen. Sheri-
Dan, or heutenants serving with light batteries
Ihsse appointments did not meet with the ap-
proVa OF the secretary. who held that in justice to
the officers OF the regiments, the adjutants
should be selected from among the ileuten-
anus doing actual service with their re-
gInentS. An order was therefore issued
restricting the appointment to such officers and
Ine objectionable appointments were revoked
Gen. sheridan was out West al the time No cor
respondence has taken place between the two OFF,
ClalS, ana probably none Will. 1t all goes to show
however, as has frequently been stated, that the
secretary OF War and the Lieutenant General do
not always work well together in administering
the Affairs OF the Army

The WOrkmen Rapidly Perfecting
Their Plan Of District ORGANIZATION

CHICAGO, March 29.--The carpenters OF this city
are preparing TO enforce their demands Tor eight
hours and 35 cents per hour, April 4. When the
secretary OF the Carpenters Council informed the
boss carpenters that a conference was desirable
the latter told him that, as The men had ISSUED
their ultimauum, there was no necessity for a con-
ference. The employees, however, wanted a con-
ference SO that the trouble might be adjusted and
settled for year, at least The employers Will
take no action till after the convention TO be held
for the purpose OF forming National Union. IL is
SAID that the plan for conSC ldating the building
trades into one district Is progressing rapidly.
Already the following well-organized unions have
signined their intention OF joining the building
trades district: Carpenters, brlcklayers, stone
cutters, plumbers bod, carriers, pIaSterers
painters, derrick-men, fathers, and gas-fiuIers.
The object or the district is TO work for mutual
protection and assist each ouLerin case OF a strike
Eight hours a day Will be the rule amongst them,
and some OF them intend 10 demand or have al
ready asked for an advance in wages. The work
OF the body will be done by a central council COM
posed OF three delegates from each organization
and after all the building trades have been united
there VIII probably be forty delegates i'm the
council. The body Will represent 1900 to 3d.
600 men.
